[Morphological signs of inflammatory activity in different clinical forms of drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis].

Aim: to determine whether the activity of tuberculous inflammation is associated with different clinical forms of drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis.

Subjects And Methods: The material taken from 310 patients operated on in 2010-2015 were retrospectively examined. The patients underwent economical lung resections of limited extent (typical and atypical ones of up to 3 segments) for circumscribed forms of tuberculosis with bacterial excretion.

[Prognostic value of morphological signs of the activity of tuberculous inflammation in patients with circumscribed drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis].

The paper provides the morphological characteristics of a specific process in patients with drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis. Morphological study of intraoperative samples has shown a predominance of common active inflammatory changes in most cases. There is evidence for an association of the morphological activity of a tuberculous process with the clinical types and duration of the disease and their spectrum of drug resistance.
